Data Licensing Specialist

We’re working with a London hedge fund looking for a Data Licensing Specialist to lead negotiations with vendors and exchanges and shape how the firm buys, licenses and uses market data across asset classes.

You’ll have scope to challenge existing agreements, propose better licensing models and help investment and technology teams get the data they need on terms that work for the business.

What you’ll do

1. Lead market data contract negotiations and renewals, improving commercial terms while protecting data quality.
2. Own the firm’s inventory of data licensing rights and advise teams on what their agreements allow them to do.
3. Work with business users and developers to turn market data and security master requirements into clear system changes.
4. Resolve licensing and compliance issues and improve how the firm tracks and manages its data.

What you’ll bring

1. At least seven years’ market data experience, ideally within an investment fund.
2. Hands-on experience negotiating contracts and renewals with data vendors and exchanges.
3. A good understanding of data products and providers across multiple asset classes, plus a track record of improving data management processes.
4. A relevant bachelor’s degree and an FISD Financial Information Associate or Data Licensing Specialist qualification.

The role offers a competitive salary and bonus, a generous pension contribution, private medical insurance and professional development support.
